Maintenance Tips

• Handle gently; avoid dropping or applying excessive force.

• Clean after each use with approved ultrasound cleaners; avoid harsh chemicals.

• Follow manufacturer’s disinfection guidelines; never submerge the connector.

• Inspect cable and probe housing regularly for cracks, frays, or wear.

• Store in a padded holder, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.

• Coil the cable loosely to prevent internal damage.

• Allow probe to reach room temperature before scanning to avoid condensation.

• Disconnect by gripping the connector, not the cable.
